JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Hello!

We are a brave, positive, and well-functioning team of therapists that we are now expanding, and we are looking for our next colleague! With us, we work from a holistic perspective focusing on the needs, well-being, and development of the child. We believe that collaboration, both internally and externally, is of utmost importance to provide our children and youth with the best opportunities in life.

In your role as a family therapist, you will work with children, youth, and their families who need support and interventions related to relationships, caregiving ability, and behavior. You will also lead parent groups together with your colleagues, and we are currently developing our work within TSI (Early Coordinated Interventions).

The Open Care operates with assistance from social services but also offers advisory and non-assistance treatment interventions. Your task will be to strengthen the parental role, work to improve relationships within the family, and support the family to ensure that daily life and family life function as well as possible and to prevent placements. The work also involves finding effective outpatient solutions together with the family and collaborating with other resources that may be available in the family's local environment.
